Any of you trying the SSD estimator at:
http://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/PRS3780

I put in a request that they allow you to sort by "Disk Read Wait Average
Seconds". This will allow you to skip some jobs that don't have a high
number in there but have been running for a month or so and just
accumulate a large "Disk Read Wait Total Seconds". Think NEP (Never
Ending Program's), Domino server type jobs, etc.
